I concede the point, although I will say I was lumping in people who work for military suppliers in my off-the-cuff statistic. I live in MA, so perhaps that skews my impression - there are a lot of military tech companies here.

In New Hampshire BAE is one of the largest employers and in Connecticut they freak out at any suggestion the sub base may close. At least if Raytheon, BEA, Lockheed, and MIT Lincoln Laboratory (there are more I'm forgetting I'm sure) leave Boston the local economy will survive.
